India got a big boost to its ongoing campaign to drive home the message that Pakistan is a country which is ‘unreliable’ and harbours terrorism instead of fighting this menace. New Delhi also derailed its plan to rake up Kashmir issue in the UN. India got the much-needed chance to expose Pakistan over terrorism and other propaganda that it resorts to in a bid to create a false impression about it being a sincere and honest nation.
India used the forum of the United Nations to expose the real face of Pakistan. Exposing Pakistan’s lies one by one. India said, “The biggest sponsor of crossborder terrorism against New Delhi now tries to masquerade itself as a victim of terror.”
The Pakistani envoy’s claim that Islamabad has been a target of cross-border terrorism for decades gave Indian mission an apt and timely opportunity to turn the tables on it at the United Nations. India said “a lie repeated a hundred times will not become truth. The biggest sponsor of cross-border terrorism against India now tries to masquerade itself as a victim of terrorism by India.” India’s Permanent Mission to the UN lambasted Islamabad over other issues including terrorism. The mission of India came heavily down upon Pakistan exposing its several lies before the august audience of the UN.
The Pakistan Mission falsely claimed that its UN envoy Munir Akram gave a statement at a Security Council debate on report of the Secretary-General on Threats to International Peace and Security posed by Terrorism Actions. However, the Security Council meeting on threats to international peace and security was not open to non-members of the Council.
A photograph of the meeting tweeted by the German Mission to the UN showed only envoys of the 15 Security Council members participating in the meeting. Pakistan is not a member of the Council.
“We fail to comprehend where exactly did the Permanent Representative of Pakistan make his statement since the Security Council session today was not open to non-members of the Security Council. Be that as it may, the five big lies of Pakistan are exposed,” India’s Mission to the UN said in a post on Twitter. O
n Akram’s claim that Pakistan has decimated Al-Qaeda from the region, India said perhaps the Permanent Representative of Pakistan is “not aware that Osama bin Laden was hiding in their own country in plain sight, and it is the US forces which got him inside Pakistan. Nor have they heard their Prime Minister refer to Osama bin Laden as a martyr.”
Pakistan’s claim to wipe out Al Qaeda is basically to please the US on whose donations and financial aid Islamabad’s economy somehow runs. Moreover, Pakistan wants to be seen to be doing something against terrorism under international pressure. But it does not have any evidence to substantiate its claim on terrorism. “The global community sees through Pakistan’s design to hoodwink it by making one false claim or the other,” says an MEA official. He said that Indian Mission has been asked by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar to counter and expose Pakistan’s all lies as strongly and frequently as possible. According to sources, the PM Narendra Modi is directly keeping a close watch on this mission of India to expose Pakistan and China.
India also said that Pakistan is home to the largest number of terrorists proscribed by the UN and many of the sanctioned terrorists and entities continue to operate with impunity inside Pakistan. Pakistan PM Imran Khan himself had admitted at the General Assembly last year about the presence of 40,000- 50,000 terrorists inside Pakistan.
